Heh.It's outstanding.
Heh.
It was good. It was confusing as hell to me while I watched it, and then when I read the plot on Wikipedia, I realized that I basically understood most of what happened, I just didn't think the film's plot was centered around something so simplistic. It was also at least 20 minutes too long.
Nevertheless, Ryan Gosling is a great actor, and Jared Leto even surprised me with his (short) performance. It was also visually amazing.
It did not leave me asking any interesting questions like Blade Runner did. I gave the original Blade Runner 3/5 stars.
I also give Blade Runner 2049 a score of 3/5 stars.
Actually, I sad "Heh," not "Meh." Get it right.Dunno why it's simplistic, or why it doesn't make you consider the same questions as the first one did, since it asks the exact same questions. What does it mean to be human? If humanity can create servants, would they have intrinsic human rights?
Given the advances in machine intelligence and robotics, if anything those same questions are even MORE relevant today than they were 30 years ago with the original. It's not asking new questions, it's expanding on the little the original revealed about the replicants were, and what their purpose was.
Why was it confusing? If anything, I found this one much more straightforward in terms of me as an audience member knowing what was going on. (with the background of the first one of course) Why did you think it simplistic after reading some summary of what someone else thought it was about?
In terms of MOVIE-MAKING, there's no way that's 3 out of 5. 3 out of 5 is barely better than average. Meh indeed.
